Synopsis

By revealing certain secrets of chess play and chess players, this compendium will help the average amateur player (a patzer) become a very strong amateur player (a grandpatzer). The work is unparalleled in chess literature because it is not a manual for beginners nor is it a treatise for masters. If you are among the millions of chess players who cannot beat average below-master players and who cannot defeat the home chess-playing computers now on the market, you need this unique book. To strengthen your level of play, you must understand not only many secrets of the outer game of chess but also those of the inner ego game of chessplayers. Armed with this knowledge, you will be a most formidable opponent for both people and computers.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Kenneth Mark Colby, M.D. (January 12, 1920 to April 20, 2001) was an American psychiatrist dedicated to the theory and application of computer science and artificial intelligence to psychiatry. Colby was a pioneer in the development of computer technology as a tool to try to understand cognitive functions and to assist both patients and doctors in the treatment process. He is perhaps best known for the development of a computer program called PARRY, which mimicked a paranoid schizophrenic and could "converse" with others. PARRY sparked serious debate about the possibility and nature of machine intelligence.
